"Time talks 2016" (election)
Posted on 02/27/2017 10:37:20 AM PST by MeneMeneTekelUpharsin
A caller just mentioned George W. Bush making a comment on the present political situation in a negative fashion against President Trump AND in defense of the media!!! He is a TRAITOR along with McCain, Graham and other Republicans who are corrupt, bought-off and leading this nation over the edge of the cliff. The caller made an excellent point the Bush had nothing to say about Obama's wrecking ball on the nation.
The elites are all on the special lifeboat while the Titana-US is sinking after hitting the immigrationliberalleftistpro-immorality iceberg.
Coming from the man under whose presidency, America suffered the greatest terrorist attack in our history, but would not dare say anything for 8 long years against the most anti-American and pro-Muslim president in our history.
And yet, the current president exercises his constitutional authority to vet people entering from terrorist nations, an act other presidents have carried out without notice, and George W. Bush has a problem with it.
But what can you expect from a man who thought he could look into Putin’s eyes and see his soul.
“No Child Left Behind”, a bill only Teddy Kennedy could love.
You really think George W. is a Christian? The Bushes are awfully angry for Christians.
I think you really nailed it there. Trump's New York City bluster and his rough & tumble style allowed him to survive a campaign that would have devastated just about anybody else.
Look back to how quickly they got Ross Perot to throw in the towel. That 1992 election was Perot's to lose. People were hungry even back then for a populist outsider and like Trump, Perot had the ability to self-fund. Perot even had some of Trump's toughness and brash style. But eventually the media onslaught got to him and he suffered what appeared to me to be a nervous breakdown. Remember how when he dropped out he said that it was because Bush was out to ruin his daughter's wedding? It got really weird. He did jump back into the race and ran again in 1996 but he was never the same man again.
A man like Donald Trump comes around once in a lifetime. Many of us are turned off by his arrogance and crassness as well as his penchant to turn every slight into a major battle. Don't confuse that with being thin-skinned however. The man fights and never backs down. When the Hollywood Access tape came out, I thought there was no way he could survive that. But he did and by the end of that terrible weekend when even his closest supporters were jumping ship or close to it, he was right back on offense like nothing happened.
I hope Trump's Administration is a smashing success and that he literally changes the way the American people look at their elected officials. Because if he crashes and burns, the people will go back to electing regular politicians, the establishment will say "I told you so" and we'll never elect an outsider as president again for at least another 100 years. If we even survive as a nation that long.
I heard that comment on WFLA 970. I sent an email to the Program Director giving them my opinion of the newscaster for knowing broadcasting a lie, the radio station for broadcasting fake news, and the reporters for being such liars. I included the actual statement that President Trump made. Signed my name and gave my email address should they wish to respond.
It embarrasses me that I voted twice for the bastard. It embarasses me more that I once respected and defended the sob. And it shames me to have to admit that I thought that he was a decent human being.
“He’s more Christian than Conservative”
I would disagree.
Anyone who says there are multiple paths to heaven like W did is not a Christian. (He may have changed his mind since he said it, I don’t know). A Christian believes there is only one path to heaven through Jesus Christ.
In addition. by saying Muslim is the religion of peace is implying Christianity and all other religions aren’t. I think Christ would disagree.
I don’t think he is a Conservative either.
That being said he was better than Gore or Kerry.
It hasn’t changed
We should be able to criticize ANY president on specific issues if we disagree with him.
I was against the war in Iraq because I thought why aren’t the people within missile range of WMDs worried? And why is our job to protect other Muslims from other Muslims?
I was willing to give Bush the benefit of the doubt at first (maybe he knows things I don’t) but with all the ‘nation building’ and staying in Iraq and Afghanistan basically FOREVER to protect Muslims from other Muslims ... no, I’m not on board with that. And I’m not on board with it if Trump continues it at well.
I kept quiet about it for years but no more. Even Trump said it was a mistake but now he seems to be being influenced by the Permanent Occupation uni-party in D.C.
We need to get the hell out of these countries (and keep them out of here as much as possible) ... I’m on board with that.
“Operation Northwoods”
A lot of questions.
Building 7.
An exercise of the air defense on that day which generated confusion and miss-allocation of resources.
The Engineers reports...
I hate being accused of being nuts, but sometimes things are not as portrayed.
I heard about this and was infuriated. Bush was the first president I gave money to.
What is incredible to me is that he kept his pie hole shut while Obama systematically flushed every ounce of blood and treasure we spent in Iraq down the toilet.
Obama saw to it that the Iraq war and every American life that was maimed and lost during it... WERE LOSSES IN VAIN.
I remember being baffled as to why Bush kept his mouth shut. He had every reason to speak up, it wasn’t about being rude to the new President, it was about speaking out for all the families and loved ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice and now had nothing to show for it. In fact it was more than losing all our gains, it also laid the groundwork for the birth of ISIS and all the carnage and death they have become responsible for.
How could he not speak out for those families he claims to weep for and hold more dear than anything else? I told myself he must have a level of understanding and respect for the office of the presidency that no one can possibly fathom who hasn’t held it themselves. That must be it.
Then he does this. I’m disgusted. I was so wrong. Keeping his mouth shut during the Obama years was apathy...pure and simple. An apathy that wouldn’t be broken even as the thousands of maimed and killed soldiers under his watch had everything they fought for get flushed down the toilet.
Yet what did it take to shake his apathy and have him speak out against one of his predecessors? His need to defend the MSM.
Go to hell george bush. Fck you
Attacking Iraq under a fraudulent WMD deal and taking his eyes off of bin laden made him a traitor
Good point.
Right you are!!

LOL! I’m sure they got along famously.
“Look back to how quickly they got Ross Perot to throw in the towel. That 1992 election was Perot’s to lose. People were hungry even back then for a populist outsider and like Trump, Perot had the ability to self-fund. Perot even had some of Trump’s toughness and brash style.”

I remember that. I went to one of his rallies in Denver and it was massive. He had so much support. And then they made him look like a lunatic.
But Trump, unlike any other president in recent memory, is a New York City street fighter.
And I think the world—especially Putin—knows it.
Let’s keep praying for him!

You said so many great things in that post.
You are right. I thought that it was over when that tape came out.
What was that movie? The Unsinkable Molly Brown? That’s what our president reminds me of.
Is that picture for real? It makes me want to vomit.
Or take a day off. ;)
